What you’ll need to have ready
Before you begin to look for home insurance quotes you need to make sure you have the following details to hand:
- the rebuild value of the property you want to insure;
- details of the types of locks on the doors and windows of the property;
- roughly how old the property is and whether it’s a listed building;
- Approximate value of the contents of the property and any items worth over a £1000;
- details of your current home insurance, your no claims bonus and any claims you’ve made.
How to reduce the cost of your home insurance
There are more ways than you might think to reduce the cost of your home insurance. For instance, you can:
- try not to make a claim on your home insurance unless you have to, as the fewer claims you make the lower your premium will be;
- Make your home secure by fitting good quality locks to all accessible doors and windows and consider fitting a burglar alarm;
- Fit, and regularly test, smoke alarms;
- Increase the excess. The higher the excess you opt for, the lower your home insurance premium will be;
- Insurers will offer cheaper home insurance premiums if your house is occupied a lot of the time. If you go on holiday for more than 28 days at a time and leave the property unoccupied, they’ll charge you more.
